COMPARATIVE PROGNOSTIC ACCURACY OF CARDIOGENIC SHOCK RISK PREDICTION MODELS

摘要

BACKGROUND: Despite advancements in pharmacological and procedural therapies, cardiogenic shock (CS) remains associated with high morbidity and mortality. Accurate risk stratification tools may improve our ability to select patients suitable for mechanical therapies, yet little is known about the comparative discrimination of risk prediction models for CS mortality. We compared the accuracy of established risk scores in patients with CS admitted to a tertiary care center coronary care units (CCUs).
